Hello Loves! I said in the beginning that I would be posting every other day, but I have been writing these chapters faster than I thought I would so I will just post each chapter as I finish them. I hope you are enjoying this story so far because I'm having fun writing these two characters! Please tell me what you think because I love reading them, so here is chapter 3 of Love, Life, and Bumblebee Tights.
The very next day I was at home packing up my room to start my life living in my new home. Our new home, just Will and I. As I was packing all of my stuff with the help of Treen and Tom I came across a letter from the University that I had applied to right before our trip the Mauritius. The letter had arrived the day before and Mum must have put it in my room for me to see when I got home, but with me staying the night at Wills I was unable to get it. I opened the letter and the first thing I saw was Congratulations Ms. Clark, you have made it to the final step of being accepted into University. We would like you to come in on the 15th of September, 2009. Please call the number if you have any questions or concerns.
¨What is it Lou?¨ Treen asked trying to take the letter from my hand.
¨The University that I applied to wants me to come in for an interview.¨ I said still trying to process the information.
¨Well your going right?¨ Treen said more like a statement rather than a question.
¨Oh I don't know Treen, I am just moving in with Will and still trying to figure out things.¨
¨What things Lou? If you pass this up there is a possibility that you may never have or get this opportunity again. Lou you have always dreamed about this and now is your chance. Didn't you promise Will that you would do the things you want and not let him hold you back?¨ she said practically yelling at me.
¨Yes, but Treen...¨ was all I was able to get out.
¨Louisa Clark you are just as stubborn as he is, go do the interview, do what you have always dreamed of doing since you were a little girl.¨ Treen said almost pleading me at this point.
¨Fine I will go.¨ I said reluctantly.
At around six I finally returned to my new home with dinner and Will waiting at the table for me. ¨What is this William Traynor?¨
¨I thought we should celebrate.¨ Will said with a suspicious smile.
¨Celebrate what?¨ I said confused.
¨You going to the interview for the University you applied for.¨
¨How did you find out?¨ I asked trying to hide the shock in my voice.
¨Your sister called before you came home.¨ Will said now confused himself. ¨I thought you knew Treen called me.¨ Will said finally understanding that I had no clue Treen had called.
¨Oh, so I see you know.¨ I said feeling a little disappointed that I was not the one to get to tell Will that I had gotten the interview.
¨Well I asked my Mum to get dinner for us so we could celebrate.¨ Will said unable to hide his smile. ¨I'm so proud of you Lou, you'll do great!.¨
Nathan came a little after we had eaten dinner to get Will ready for bed. As Will and Nathan went off to get ready I had gone into my new room to change into my polka dot sleep pants and a grey jumper I had taken from Will's closet. I had told myself that tomorrow I was going to unpack all my stuff and get settled into our house.
I opened the door to Will's room unsure if he was awake or not.
¨Are you going to stand there or get in bed with me.¨ Will asked
¨I thought I was to sleep in my bedroom?¨ I said more as a question than a statement.
¨Clark get over here and lay down¨ Will said almost a little annoyed that I thought I was to sleep in my own room.
I did what I was told and snuggled in right next to him intertwining my fingers with his. My head was resting on his shoulder and his head was leaned up against mine. We did not say anything, but we both could feel the love we both had for each other. As both of our eyes grew heavy I heard ¨I love you¨ whispered into my ear just like the night before. I remembered thinking to myself that I could get used to that right before I fell asleep for the night.
As summer turned into fall in our little village Will I was noticing was becoming quieter and quieter. I on the other hand was getting more and more nervous for my interview that was only days away. I knew that Will would start to retreat into that place in his mind that I would not be able to pull him out of because of the weather getting cooler and him not being able to go outside for very long, but I did not think it would be as bad as it was.
It was the morning before my interview and Will was not in the best of moods. He was staring out of the window at the leaves falling on the grounds of the castle. His face was blank and I knew that he had retreated to a place before his accident. As I walked closer to him I put my hand on his shoulder not sure if he heard me coming in the room or not. I slowly sat down on his lap and placed my forehead on his.
¨Will, I don't know where you are right now, but I do know that wherever you are is not where you are right now. Please come back to me listen to my voice and come back to me.¨ I said hoping he was listening to me.
He eyes instantly locked with mine and he was back.
¨Sometimes I wish that I never ended up in this bloody wheelchair, but then I look at you and realize that if I wasn't injured I would have never met you.¨ Will said in a tired voice.
¨I love you Will Traynor.¨ I said looking into his bright blue eyes.
¨I love you too Lou.¨ He said resting his head back on his headrest.
¨I think it is time to go back in best to get some rest.¨ I said noticing how tired he looked.
He did not say anything, but gently nodded. I had transferred Will into bed before, but that was the night of Alicia's Wedding. We were both properly drunk and a little to happy to care what happened. Will was studying my face as we arrived to his room and must have noticed the fear in my eyes.
¨You can do this Clark¨ He said trying to reassure me.
After a two attempts I finally got him in bed. I crawled in next to him and placed my head on his chest taking in everything about him.
¨Are you ready for tomorrow?¨He said breaking the silence.
¨Oh I don't know.¨ I said trying to hide the fear in my voice.
¨You'll do great Clark, just be yourself and they will love you.¨
¨Yeah well most people don't like me anymore in this town.¨ I tried to say in a light hearted manner.
¨What do you mean?¨ Will asked sounded confused.
¨Well it turns out that a lot of people did not like your decision to go to Switzerland and did not like me going with you.¨ I said trying to make it sound not as bad as it really was.
¨Are people bothering you about it?¨He asked getting defensive.
¨Well no one talks to me or my family and we have been getting death threats sent to us almost everyday.¨ I said realizing the affect it had on Will.
¨Clark why did you not tell me any of this sooner?¨ He said in a pleading manner.
¨I thought it was no big deal and I did not want you to feel responsible for it¨
¨No big deal Clark, people are sending death threats it is my fault.¨
¨No Will, Please.¨ I said begging for him to not take blame for it.
Just then he realized that what had happened only few people know about. ¨How did this get to the public.¨ he asked confused.
¨Patrick sold it to some newspaper and the article went out the next morning. Your Mum found out about it and had all the news papers destroyed, but I guess some of them still got out.¨ I said getting up to look at him properly.
My Mum knows about this too?¨ He said getting angrier.
¨She knows about the newspapers, but not about the threats.¨ I said trying to calm him down.
¨Tell my Mum to contact one of the people who has been trying to interview us and tell them I want to talk. Tell them to come the day after tomorrow.¨ He said looking right into my eyes.
¨Will you don't have to do this.¨
¨I need to make things right Clark. It is not fair that you have to go through this for a decision I made. You were just doing what I asked you to do.¨ He said with tears forming at the corners of his eyes.
¨Okay,¨ I said wiping the tear that excepted from his eye.
The next day was the day of my interview. Will and Nathan had dropped me off at the University and would wait until I was done. About an hour later I emerged from the office with my class schedule and a list of books I needed for my classes. Will and nathan were waiting for me like they had said in the parking lot.
¨I told you you would do great.¨ Will said motioning me with his head to sit on his lap.
¨Nice job Lou!¨ Nathan said patting me on my back.
Later that night We were sitting around the table at Clark's parents house celebrating the acceptance of Lou to University. As the night was ending Will asked my parents to join us at the house to be part of the interview that was going to happen tomorrow. Both Mum and dad were shocked,but agreed quickly.
¨I'm sorry you had to go through this and I want to make it right.¨ Will said looking at both my parents.
¨Oh love it's not your fault Love.¨ Mum said trying to make Will feel better about the situation.
We finally arrived home and got ready for bed it was a quiet night with the next day looming over our head and the thoughts of what may happen. I turned the lights off to the room and carefully made my way back to the bed. I laid right next to Will holding his hand in mine letting him know that everything was going to be okay.
¨I love you Will.¨ I said just like he did to me the previous nights.
